Restoration of Degraded Tropical Peatland in Indonesia: A Review
Land, 2021 Tropical peatlands are fragile ecosystems with an important role in conserving biodiversity, water quality and availability, preventing floods, soil intrusion, erosion and sedimentation, and providing a livelihood for people.

Stream biofilm response to an increasing number of non-flow periods [PDF]
, 2020 Anthropogenic impacts and climate change are considerably altering freshwater systems. Most significant consequences of this are changes to flow regimes as well as the transformation of permanent into temporary waterways.

Where can rewetting of forested peatland reduce extreme flows? Model experiment on the hydrology of Sweden [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesHistorical drainage to improve forestry practices has resulted in around 7×105 ha drained forested peatland in Sweden. This has reduced the storage of water in the landscape and may impact greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and the damping of ...

Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]
, 2013 The upper few millimeters of soil harbour photosynthetic microbial communities that are structurally distinct from those of underlying bulk soil due to the presence of light. Previous studies in arid zones have demonstrated functional importance of these

Does peatland rewetting mitigate flooding from extreme rainfall events? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesPristine peatlands are believed to play an important role in regulating hydrological extremes because they can act as reservoirs for rainwater and release it gradually during dry periods.

Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland [PDF]
, 2018 The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using field‐based holo‐omics, we demonstrate that developmental shifts in sorghum leaf metabolomes drive a noncanonical fungal succession from stress tolerators (S) through ruderals (R) to competitors (C). Antifungal metabolites in young leaves select for S strategists with expanded genomes, transient maltose pulses during flowering favor fast‐growing ...

People and NaturePeatland restoration through rewetting is a pivotal solution to counteract the climate crisis. Since many peatlands with the potential for rewetting are farmland, rewetting can only be achieved in collaboration with peatland farmers. However, the discord
